I am a Linux fan as of recently. I use Windows XP inside VirtualBox rather I need to use it because I try and install lots of programs for Windows as I have to review and sell them.
The problem happened to be when I first time switched to VirtualBox from QEMU as it gives better performance. It actually uses the CPU resources to run the Virtual OS unlike QEMU which emulates it.
Recently I have installed Kubuntu Linux. I played around with it for a while and found it really interesting and as easy as Windows XP. I like the way it has been organized and developed. I became an absolute fan of it. Up till now I had never used Linux so seriously and tried it sometimes for a change only.
With Windows, my main concern was the security and vulnerability issues. I mostly work online and had lots of documents being modified online so I am afraid of my computer being compromised to such a level that I almost daily check for viruses and spywares using the AVG free and SpyBot. I have also installed Comodo Firewall and enabled the broadband router firewall to prevents the intrusion. But all of this was not satisfactory.
